Abstract

In this study, we have deliberately utilized the second-sphere coordination approach into the construction of supramolecular inclusion solids Cl ⊂ [H2 L1]·[InCl4] (Crystal I) and Br ⊂ [H2 L1]·[TeBr6] (Crystal II). The chloride or bromine anions can be encapsulated inside the host assemblies formed by the diamine molecule (4,6-dimethyl-1,3-phenylene) bis(N,N-dibenzylmethane) (L1) and the metal complexes ([InCl4] and [TeBr6]2−) via second-sphere interactions. The inclusion complexes have been structurally characterized by X-ray crystallography, indicating that weak C–H···Cl and C–H···Br hydrogen bonding synthons play a significant role in the construction of host framework. 2-D networks are formed in both complexes by the interconnection of 1-D networks through the multiple weak hydrogen bonding interactions with [InCl4] or [TeBr6]2−. The guest Cl or Br anions are encapsulated inside the host cages through N–H···Cl hydrogen bonds. The inclusion selectively was studied for the two host assemblies.
